VP8SGI/VP8STI News from the Intrepid-DX Group

VP8SGI/VP8STI News from Paul N6PSE
The Intrepid DX Group’s VP8SGI/VP8STI team is pleased to announce our “Early Donorö
program for donations prior to departure to the Islands.
For all donations of $25 or more, we will perform an early LoTW upload and we will
include all $25 donors in the first batch of QSL processing. We will have more news
on this feature soon!
We are extremely pleased that DX Engineering has become a major equipment sponsor
for this Dxpedition. This saves the team considerable funds that can be used elsewhere
to improve the quality and performance of the Dxpedition team. “DX Engineering has
always supported us but on this effort they have really stepped up in a big way-this
is a real shot in the arm for our team and enables us to perform at higher levelsö
said Team Co-Leader David Collingham-K3LP.
We are delighted to report that our QSL Cards are being sponsored and printed by
Tony-LZ1JZ. LZ1JZ Print Service has an outstanding reputation for printing the finest
QSL cards and we are very grateful to have this sponsorship.
Our plans are moving forward in all aspects including our team’s first $54,000
installment being paid to the Braveheart.
To date, we have raised $95,000 towards our goal of raising $215,000. This puts us
44% of our target. We would welcome additional support from the many DX Clubs around the
globe, particularly those in Europe and Asia who have not yet supported our efforts.
We are seeking a Sponsor for our Inmarsat-BGAN Internet terminal lease and satellite
time. “It will cost us $1200 to lease the BGAN terminal and another $500 is projected
for satellite air timeö Said Dxpedition Co-Leader Paul Ewing-N6PSE. The BGAN terminal
is essential for us to upload our logs to Clublog on a daily basis. We would welcome
a corporate, club or individual sponsor of our Clublog upload capability.
At the time of our activations, South Sandwich will be the #3 most wanted entity,
while South Georgia will be the #7 most wanted DXCC entity.
All information about our plans can be found on our website: <http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8>http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8
Lastly, many of the VP8STI/VP8SGI Team members will be attending the 2015 International
DX Convention in Visalia this weekend. If you’ll be in Visalia, please visit us at our
Dxpedition Tent inside the Convention Center and say hello.
Thank you,
The Intrepid-DX Group VP8 Team
